Pro Tips from Our Florists
Extra insights from our team of professional florists
Temperature Matters
Keep your flowers in a cool spot (18-22°C is ideal). Avoid placing them near heating vents, direct sunlight, or appliances that generate heat.
Timing is Key
Change water every 2-3 days for fresh flowers. The cleaner the water, the longer your blooms will last. Always recut stems at an angle when changing water.
Flower Food Works
Don't skip the flower food packet! It provides nutrients and keeps bacteria at bay. If you've run out, a pinch of sugar and a drop of bleach in clean water can help.
Remove Wilted Blooms
As individual flowers wilt, remove them promptly. This helps the remaining blooms last longer and keeps your arrangement looking fresh.
